Newburyport Whale Watch

Is there any better way to share the beauty of living on the seacoast area with your family or friends than to marvel at the amazing creatures that exist in our own backyard?

Take a ride on our 95-foot boat, the Prince of Whales which is one of the largest, most comfortable and fastest whale watch boats north of Boston. We depart daily out of beautiful downtown Newburyport, Massachusetts. Our location and fast boat mean less travel time and more time with the whales.

Book yourself on a Whale Watch, and discover the magic of cresting humpback, finback, minke whales and white-sided dolphins. Take a journey on a specialty Birding Trip, explore Star Island and the Isle of Shoals, enjoy a leisurely dinner cruise down the Merrimac River or experience the area’s best fireworks from the vantage point of the sea during the month of July. These are just some of the adventures that you can experience.

Whale Watch trips average approximately 4 ½ hours and we run from mid-May to mid-October. During the months of July and August, we run two trips daily (at 8:30AM and 1:30PM). We’ve been in business since 1980 and have a 98% sighting rate. Because we’re in Newburyport, we can go to either Stellwagon Bank in the Massachusetts Bay or Jeffries Ledge off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine depending on where the best recent whale sightings have been.

In 2009, we had some of the best whale sightings in 10 years! For more information on how you book your own adventure, please call 978-499-0832 or 800-848-1111 for reservations and more information. Also, check out our website at www.newburyportwhalewatch.com
